So done, and tested on lynx and mozilla (netscape is the villain, 4.61).
Find attached a revised version of the first patch. There is still some
work left on the HTML side but this at least improves things.
This whole gory tale really illustrates the evil of web standards perversion.
Caolan did his wv work when Netscape was still the only browser realistically
available on all platforms, and he bent over backwards to make wv produce
code that it could somewhat handle. But times are changing, luckily.
